And according to reports, the 32-year-old was promptly taken to a hospital in the Legnano district of Milan to undergo scans on his head.
But ESPN claims the former Chelsea and Real Madrid striker hasn’t suffered “a serious injury.”
He will, however, undergo further tests before giving the all-clear to return to action.
Morata is expected to remain in hospital this evening and is set to miss the Rossoneiri’s trip to Cagliari on Sunday.
The Spaniard joined Milan from La Liga giants Atletico Madrid in July for a fee of £10.9million.
Morata – who inked a four-year contract at the San Siro – has struggled this campaign, finding the back of the net a mere three times in 12 appearances in all competitions.
The veteran striker skippered Spain to Euro 2024 glory this past summer.
But he went into the tournament fresh off a battle with depression, which was the result of heavy criticism from Spanish fans and journalists in the build-up to the tournament.

He bravely revealed to El Partidazo: “When you have really tough times, depression, panic attacks, it doesn’t matter what job you do.
“What situation you have in life, you have another person inside that you have to fight against every day and every night.”
He added: “For me, leaving Spain was the best option; I couldn’t stand it.
“I had a really bad time. I thought I wouldn’t be able to put my boots on and go out on the pitch again.
“But hey, thanks to a lot of people, from [Diego] Simeone, Koke, Miguel Angel Gil last year, my psychiatrist, my coach.
“We are what you see on TV and on social media but often it’s not real.
“You have to give an image because it’s your job.
“I had a really bad time, I exploded and there came a time when I couldn’t lace up my boots.
“And when I did I would run home because my throat would close up and my vision would start to blur.

“Three months before the Euros I was wondering if I would be able to play another match.
“I didn’t know what was happening to me but it’s very complicated and delicate.
“At that moment you realise that what you like most in the world is what you hate the most, it’s complicated.
“Every time I went out with them I always had some episode, sometimes without malice, with people about something that had happened in previous games.
“And, in the end, they didn’t want to go shopping either, things that a normal father does with his children.
“There came a time when they said so many things to me in front of them that I was embarrassed to be with them.
“I was an easy joke, a joke to make the person next to you laugh.”
